Address Verification: Understand where customers live.
A verified address is more than a formality – it’s a foundation for compliance, trust, and seamless service. IDnow Address Verification helps you confirm your customers’ residence with precision, using official documents and multi-channel workflows to meet regulatory requirements and keep your business secure.
Purpose built for trust, wherever your customers are.
From financial services and mobility to regulated retail and online marketplaces, address verification is a vital step for onboarding, compliance, and fraud prevention. IDnow combines document analysis, live specialist review, and smart automation to deliver address checks that are accurate, auditable, and easy for genuine users.
Deploy trust, your way.
Automated self-service.
Users upload a proof-of-address document—such as a utility bill or bank statement—via web, mobile, or API. Advanced OCR instantly extracts and verifies address details, matching them against user data for fast, accurate results and a seamless experience.
Expert-led verification.
In a live video call, a trained specialist visually inspects the proof-of-address document, confirms it matches the user’s details, and ensures authenticity and compliance. This hands-on approach delivers high-trust verification for regulated sectors.
Point of Service integration.
At physical locations, address data is captured automatically from ID documents using OCR or NFC technology. If automatic extraction isn’t possible, staff can photograph a proof-of-address – enabling quick, compliant checks wherever your customers are.
What we analyze
Here’s how we verify address data to ensure every customer is exactly where they claim to be.
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A user uploads a digitally altered utility bill. Advanced OCR detects anomalies in the document layout and inconsistent data fields, instantly flagging the submission for further review and stopping fraudulent onboarding.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
A user tries to register with an old address that doesn’t match their onboarding details. The system spots the mismatch between the extracted address and the expected data, and blocks the registration before it goes any further.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
During a video call involving a user trying to onboard with a financial services provider, the specialist spots a proof-of-address document that’s outdated and doesn’t match the user’s name. The identification is canceled, ensuring the business remains compliant and secure.
